The custom action will run again. For data driven custom actions that modify
machine state, the custom action should decide what to do (create, delete,
update) based on the action state of a Component. This is important because
in repair you could have Components in all action states: none, install,
uninstall.

The WiX custom actions that modify machine state all behave this way. You
might take a look at them.
